While that’s not a surprise given Bagnaia is the curr🔯ent MotoGP champion, Ducati have always been fai🔜r when it comes to providing equal machinery for its riders.

That remains the caseheading into the new season, although it appears as though small details have seemingly favoured Bagnaia, with the Italian ending day one of the Portimao test faste💦st by over two tenths. 

• Marc Marquez 19th: ‘You d🧸on't gain anything being angry’ 
• Quartararo: ‘We have 🔥bigger problems than top speed’

Finding day on🧜e of the fine pre-season test🍎 a lot tougher, Bastianini was only 17th after finishing 1.2 seconds down on his teammate. 

"Sincerely, we have done a very good job today and we finished all the plans," Bagnaia told . "I’m sat🅷isfied! We are already at 90% of the development of the new bike, so [on day two] we will try to finish everything. 

"Will be important to te👍st the Sprint race, but in any case I’m very happy about today. The pace with the medium tyres,𓆏 used tyres, soft tyres, everything was competitive so I’m happy. 

"It’s a bike we developed a bit more💞 on my side, on my riding style and I’m starting to love every lap more. 

"Everything is okay with me and my riding style. ꧃This is a particular track that I really like. The layout is perfect for my riding style. I feel great with the new b𒊎ike but let’s see during the season."

Like Bagnaia, another Ducati rider in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini continued to show incredible form as he secured second 💦spot on the leaderboard.

After topping the end-of-season test in Valencia and the official Sepang test, Marini could wrap🌱 up the 2023 pre-season with a hat-trick of first places should he overcome Bagnaia and others during Sunday’s running.

Speaking about his opening day, Marini said: "It was another good day. We started with a little bit more difficulty at the beginning because this track is a lot different to Sepang and was difficult to come back ⭕and feel all the good sensations like the last three days of testing. 

"But after some work we found a really good compromise and I’m really happy with the 🧔work we did. I think we found a༺ better solution for this track. 

"With the pace, the time attack a🍒t the end, we are ready to make another step. “For sure we want to try the rear tyres especially. 

"The soft tyres are good and look good for the normal race but we are worried about the left side because there is a lot✅ of graining. 

"For 12 laps it is not a problem but for 25 it will be. We will maybe try a Sprint race simulation with the soft and then try another with the mediu🤡m to understand the gap between the tyres."
